Do you ever feel different?
Like you just don’t fit in sometimes?
Do you feel you’re
Too loud
Too quiet
Too colourful
Too bland
Too quirky
Too edgy
Too giggly
Too conservative
Too intence?
However you feel
Own it, every single part of it.
Embrace it,
Embrace who you are, everything about you,
Everything that makes you different.
You know
I’ve always felt different in many ways throughout my life,
And it used to bug me
I just wanted to fit in,
Be like everyone else
Be and feel normal.
When I was shy,
I wished I wasn’t,
I craved to be able to talk to people without going red in the face,
I wanted to be confident enough to speak when I felt the need
And not worry what people would think about me.
I also wanted to feel ok in the times I didn’t feel like talking,
And just be my introverted, sometimes socially awkward self.
The more content I’ve become with myself,
Funny thing is, I still feel different,
The only difference now is I’m ok with it.
Maybe now I talk too much, for some
Maybe I’m still too quiet, for some,
Maybe I speak my mind too much, for some,
Either way I know it’s ok to be and feel different.
When you’re ok with being and feeling different
You are being more YOU
And that’s the best part
To be like everyone else
To try and fit in
It’s not you,
Not the true you.
So start pulling back that veil
Step into your light
And embrace every part of who you really are.
Embrace all that is different about you,
You owe it to yourself.
